SAP Integrated Business Planning

Smarter planning by integrating enterprise-wide data

SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) is a cloud-based suite of planning applications focused on sales & operations (S&OP), demand, supply, and inventory planning. It helps companies gain real-time insights into their supply chain, product, and customer portfolios, demand, strategy, and more — in order to make the best possible planning decisions.

Today’s market is complex and volatile, and customers require highly customized products delivered instantly. That new reality urges you to ensure world-class — agile, flexible, and scalable — supply chain operations. To help you meet these challenges, SAP introduced SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP). Cloud-based and powered by SAP HANA, SAP IBP seamlessly integrates demand and supply planning and financial data to provide you with a holistic view of planning, so you can quickly act on changing demands to better serve your customers.

Integrated sales and operations planning helps you grow top-line revenue by 1% to 2%.

End-to-end visibility

To effectively respond to fluctuations in the market, you need an end-to-end view of your supply chain. SAP IBP integrates sales and operations planning (S&OP), demand planning, response and supply planning, and inventory optimization. It centralizes the related data — from SAP and non-SAP systems — in one place.

Here, you can monitor and analyze data, swiftly simulate demand and supply scenarios, develop what-if scenarios, set up targeted alerts, and bring inventory optimization and demand sensing together — to make the best possible decisions.

Real-time data is key to ensure world-class planning. As SAP IBP is powered by the SAP HANA in-memory platform, you can capture, process, and analyze data fast, and you can be sure that you’re relying on accurate, up-to-date information.
